Mongo deamon, localhost connection and node on OSX Maverick

Issue while trying to connect to mongodb

At first it was a classic warning while connecting to the db using $ mongo:

** WARNING: soft rlimits too low. Number of files is 256, should be at least 1000

So I tried:

launchctl limit maxfiles 1024 1024

Then restart the demon:

launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.mongodb.plist

launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.mongodb.plist

(using homebrew, it might varry depending on your install)

The warning is gone but stills... the error is here.

No success

So, I keep look left and right...

Need more information about mongo

Go there :

http://127.0.0.1:28017/

it might help you or at least give you some useful understanding of you db.

Finally figuring it out... it was this nice longjohn module which was blocking the connection... do not ask why now, but I guess I have to read a bit more...
